Updated CARES Logo Guidelines published

30/06/2020

An updated version (v3) of the CARES Logo Guidelines which set out the conditions of use of the CARES logo and static QR code has been published. The revised guidelines come into effect immediately and supersede all previous versions.

The revised guidelines include CARES logos incorporating a static QR code which was introduced earlier this year to improve logo security and traceability. This has been welcomed by clients, specifiers, contractors and processors.

CARES approved firms have been issued with a digital copy of the updated CARES logo(s) and static QR code as appropriate to their certification. 

Logos and further information may also be provided upon request by contacting general@ukcares.com

The transition period for existing certified companies to use only the CARES certified logo with static QR code is outlined in the table below:
